Vikram Hopsital doctors says 'SPINAL TB CAN LEAD TO PARALYSIS OF LEGS AND LOWER PARTS OF THE BODY'
India hosts about one-fifth of the total world population of tuberculosis patients, with nearly 6 million cases of the disease existing in the country. Of all the TB patients, one to two percent suffer from TB of the skeletal system, with TB of the spine accounting for more than half the number of cases of skeletal TB. Paralysis of the leg and lower parts of the body are the most devastating complications of spinal TB (also called Pott's Spine).
